US: DC Circuit Ruling Fuels Class Action Against HHS Abortion Policy for Immigrant Minors

US: DC Circuit Ruling Fuels Class Action Against HHS Abortion Policy for Immigrant Minors
Law.com – October 26, 2017
The D.C. Circuit’s blockbuster ruling that allowed an undocumented immigrant to leave federal custody to have an abortion marked the court’s rare foray into hot-button social issues. It’s an open question just how far-reaching the ruling will be either to the underlying purported class of pregnant undocumented minors or to immigration litigation at large. Judge Brett Kavanaugh, writing in dissent, said any precedential value of the court’s decision will be debated.
